    Parents "A" Team and "B" Team at same gym

    I'll add, being placed on the B group doesn't necessarily mean the kids would be better off in xcel. I've been at meets where this kind of grouping was evident (not our gym), and the B team scored in 34-35 range, where A team might have been 36-37, with outliers in each group. Imo all of...

    WAG "Made in America" - did anyone watch it?

    Definitely a little propaganda-ish, I had the Makayla thing in the back of my mind while watching. But still makes you wanna say "GO USA," and when the 2012 team was announced, I teared up a bit, lol.

    Parents Can meets be cancelled/postponed due to heavy snowy weather?

    And that is wrong. To be honest, Parkettes if any, could probably afford the insurance or refunds, at least better than others.

    Parents Can meets be cancelled/postponed due to heavy snowy weather?

    They left the area well ahead of the storm, but got stuck in a construction zone that turned into a bottleneck due to an accident. Then the snow came... (According to the news story I read)

    Parents Can meets be cancelled/postponed due to heavy snowy weather?

    Apparently the Parkettes Invitational is still going on...despite 20+ inches in Allentown and a PA state of emergency. I just think that is insanity and unsafe.

    Parents Can meets be cancelled/postponed due to heavy snowy weather?

    Also, there's not going to be as much snow farther up. PA and MD and maybe VA declared a state of emergency, but I don't think NY and north are expecting 18"

    This weekend will certainly be a test of this theory for the NE and mid-Atlantic....

    Thinking of getting my daughter tickets for christmas. She'd really like to see a few specific girls compete (Biles, Nichols), but I know we won't know for sure until closer to March. So I'm wondering, would anyone happen know the liklihood of those girls (or others) competing? Is there...

    When leos distract from the gymnastics

    Maybe they could spice up the pink with another color?

    No music fx

    I kinda liked how Brenna's routine looked with no music. Made it easier to focus on her moves, and dance elements without the expectation of how it should look "with" the music/rhythm. In other news, her interview was heartbreaking. I wish it wasn't posted...

    WAG Seeking advice for tangled hair

    You can also try a satin sleep cap, instead of the pillowcases. My daughter's hair stays in braids of some variation, or we would spend half of our day combing and crying (both of us).

    Parents does gymnastics delay puberty?

    Not much to add that hasn't been said, but I'll throw out there that my daughter is sort of on track for puberty at the same time I was (I was 10.5 with my period). She is 10yo, 4'9 75lbs, just starting to develop up top, and some darker "fluff" hair wise. Ped says she should start menses...

    Parents GK Aly tank loyalty leo

    I'd love to know how see through it is... how would it be for a 10yo girl that is just starting to develop? As in she wears a non-padded training bra under tshirts for coverage not support, but usually not under her leos which don't really need anything under them (yet).

    WAG Upper Strength while in a cast

    I'm wondering how (or if) it would be possible to maintain upper body strength if a gymnast is in an arm/hand cast. Is this a lost cause?
